The global campaign’s slogan, “Shop with Purpose,” highlights the mission to support museums and the communities they serve while offering meaningful, locally sourced gifts. This season, the Moton Museum will also host its 14th annual Moton Holiday Social: Simply Chic Sip, Shop and Socialize Monday, Dec. 8, featuring the Moton Library & Lounge, festive vendors and light refreshments.
